Weak

He felt "so or such" weak today that she spoke too much. He will regret that for ever.
  

Top answer

It should be "so weak" because weak is an adjective so it needs an adverb to modify it. You could however say: "He felt such weakness" in which case it would be adjective/noun. Some more examples to illustrate: "He felt so powerful" but "He felt such power" "He felt so miserable" but "he felt such misery" Cheers John.
